I've always been curious about this place, but hesitated because it's a bit far from the station. In 2022, after a two-year hiatus, "Deguchi Hashi Kintsubaya" was selected as one of the top 100 sweets shops on Tabelog. My top 3 Japanese sweets are as follows: - Mizumanju (water cake) - Yokan (sweet bean jelly) - Kintsuba You really have to be a big fan of Japanese sweets to choose "kintsuba". Kintsuba is a traditional Japanese sweet consisting of firm sweet bean paste wrapped in wheat flour dough and baked until crispy. Its appearance may seem plain, not really Instagram-worthy, but the wheat flour coating allows the sweet bean paste to show through, giving it an interesting texture. The sweet bean paste is firm, not too sweet, and has a nice texture from the whole red beans. The fluffy surface is light and airy, with a crispy edge. Each piece is individually handmade, with the owner skillfully cooking them on a hot iron plate. The price for kintsuba is 2100 yen for 20 pieces, 1600 yen for 15 pieces, and 1100 yen for 10 pieces. The sweet bean paste is delicious, not overly sweet, with a great texture. It's so good that you'll find yourself reaching for more. The kintsuba here is unlike any other I've had before. It's not too sweet, so you can easily eat one after another. They also offer eat-in options all year round, with 3 pieces for 350 yen. In the summer, they serve warabi mochi, shaved ice, and other seasonal treats. I will definitely be back to try them all!

Enjoyed some Kin-Tsuba from the Izumiya store as a snack at home. These Kin-Tsuba are sure to bring joy wherever you take them. The gentle sweetness of the red bean paste flavor even captivates children who may not typically enjoy traditional Japanese sweets. I believe this flavor is one that everyone, including children, should appreciate. Thank you for the delicious treat.

After eating croquette soba at "Shin Umeda Food Street," I revisited "Deiri Bridge Kintsuba-ya." Actually, when I took out "warabi mochi" the other day, I checked out a Japanese confectionery called "Shigaragi." Now, let's enter the store. The interior of the store has a relaxed atmosphere, as if time has stopped. When I sat down, they asked, "Would you like warm tea or cold water?" Although I wanted cold water because it was hot, water seemed a bit lonely with Japanese sweets, so I chose tea as my final answer. While drinking warm tea, I ordered the summer limited menu item, "Shigaragi." I also want to try "anmitsu." The back of the menu features shaved ice. Shigaragi - 600 yen. "Shigaragi" is a summer limited (May to September) sweet that has been eaten in Kansai since ancient times. It is made by steaming mochi rice flour in a cylindrical bag, slicing it with octopus thread, and sprinkling plenty of soybean flour on top. The contrast of mochi, red bean paste, soybean flour, and sugar looks delicious, right? For those who like red bean paste, it's great because it's packed with it! Let me briefly explain about this "Shigaragi." If you're not interested, feel free to skip. "Shigaragi" is a summer limited menu item at the store, which is a summer food eaten in Kansai for a long time. It is a food made by steaming mochi rice flour in a cylindrical bag, slicing it with octopus thread, and sprinkling plenty of soybean flour on top. By the way, why is it called "Shigaragi"? It is said that it looks like Shigaraki ware on the surface of the mochi. I have no idea how it looks like Shigaraki ware, as an ordinary person. By the way, when I was a child, I remembered buying a slightly expensive round stick-shaped mochi when a car came to sell "warabi mochi." I remember calling it "expensive warabi mochi" as a child, a nostalgic memory came back. I'm sure that was this "Shigaragi mochi." I remembered the taste I had when I ate it at that time. As soon as it was served, the scent of soybean flour was irresistible! The scent of soybean flour penetrates from the nostrils to the top of the head, and it's so healing~. I've looked at it from various angles, so... Let's eat!! There is plenty of soybean flour sprinkled on top, and the scent is very nice. It's a simple yet exquisite deliciousness... Yummy!! Be careful, because if you eat it with plenty of soybean flour, all the moisture in your mouth will disappear! The mochi is slightly cool, moist, and chewy, with a semi-killed grainy texture. It has an elegant, gentle, and delicious taste. This little bit of sugar is the perfect accent of sweetness. The red bean paste is subtly sweet and has a gentle flavor. Yummy!! The red bean paste and soybean flour are enjoyed together. A luxurious taste that you can eat as many as you want, without getting tired of it. Even though I just ate croquette soba a little while ago, I could eat as many as I wanted. Throughout the time I was eating, many people kept coming in to take out. Thank you for the feast.

This is the renowned kin-tsuba shop "Deiribashi Kin-tsuba-ya," established in 1930. After having lunch in Kita-Shinchi, I stopped by for dessert. The shop was unexpectedly crowded, so I ended up getting a takeout of the small size warabi mochi for 500 yen. The warabi mochi is made fresh from early morning and has a white appearance. I chilled it in the fridge at home before opening it. The mochi is cut into large pieces, offering a chewy and bouncy texture. Although slightly firm, the aroma and flavor of the kinako (soybean flour) topping are excellent. The warabi mochi sold in supermarkets often use tapioca starch, but the one from this shop, made with authentic warabi powder, is my favorite. It may be a bit pricey for some, but the taste and nostalgia make it worth it. They also offer freshly baked kin-tsuba in the cafe space, which would be perfect for the cold season. Thank you for the delicious treat.

I had never heard of "kintsuba" before my friend from Osaka mentioned it. Today, while in Osaka, I decided to visit a famous kintsuba shop near Osaka Station - Ideyabashi Kintsuba. I bought 1000 yen worth of kintsuba to go. It had a unique texture, like deep-fried sweet bean paste, which I had never experienced before. It's a shame that it has to be consumed by the end of the day, as I won't be able to take it back to Tokyo.

I also visited another delicious restaurant, which I had forgotten to mention. I visited "Deiri Hashi Kintsubaya" which is a shop specializing in kintsuba, a traditional Japanese sweet. I arrived a little after 4 pm, even though they close at 5 pm, and was able to dine in. The shop had 5 table seats and only one other customer. The display at the entrance and the "ice" flag hanging on the door completely caught my attention. Looking at the menu inside, I was surprised once again by how affordable it was. The kintsuba, which the shop is known for, was only ¥350 for 3 pieces, making it easy to share. As for my main dish, I ordered the shaved ice with sweet bean paste. It was a generous portion for ¥500, and although it was a bit challenging to eat without a plate, I managed to enjoy it quite neatly! The gentle sweetness was just right, not too overwhelming. The kintsuba was another pleasant surprise, with an elegant sweetness that made it the easiest kintsuba I've ever eaten. A lady who came in later even said she would buy 10 kintsuba on her way out, which made sense after tasting them. The shop mentioned that the kintsuba can be enjoyed the next day as well. Unfortunately, since it was my first visit, I couldn't buy any to take home, but I believe it would make a great gift. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I went to a famous shop here. It is located right in the middle between Fukushima Station and Kitashinchi Station, so you have to walk no matter what. There was no waiting or lining up, and I was able to buy smoothly. They only had packs of 6 or 10 in the showcase, but they said it was okay to buy individual pieces. I bought a kintsuba (100 yen) and had it wrapped in paper to take home. It was a delicious kintsuba with a thin skin and plenty of sweet bean paste filling.

There is a famous shop. In this day and age, you'll be amazed at the price of 350 yen for a Kin-Tsuba when you eat in. Tea is also included for free. They also have shaved ice for around 500 yen. I thought one Kin-Tsuba would cost 350 yen, but they served three, which surprised me even more. The old lady is cute. It feels like Showa era.

Visited the specialty store for Kin-tsuba at the intersection of Shinshutsumi Bridge East on a weekday at 4:00 PM. They sell Kin-tsuba individually, so I bought 2. The Kin-tsuba costs 110 yen each. It was not too sweet, with a subtle sweetness and thin dough. This was delicious! And so elegant!

I visited Kin-Tsubaya for the first time and purchased 10 pieces of Kin-Tsuba. They were small in size with firm red bean paste and a mild sweetness. It had a gentle and elegant flavor, very delicious. Thank you for the meal.

This is the famous Deiribashi Kintsubaya in Osaka. It is located along Route 2, around halfway between Nishi-Umeda Station and Hankyu Fukushima Station. Let's try it once. Various TV programs from Kansai stations have visited here. A box of 10 costs 1,100 yen. Cards are not accepted. They are wrapped in parchment paper. You can toast them lightly in a toaster oven and eat them. The sweet bean paste is not too sweet. You can easily eat as many as you want. I prefer sweets that are more satisfyingly sweet, so I found these to be a bit lacking. ★I have a blog called "Living to Eat" https://pochi12345.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-13968.html

This might have been my first time trying Kin-Tsuba, a traditional Japanese sweet made by solidifying red bean paste with agar and wrapping it in a wheat flour skin. It's a simple Japanese sweet, but it was even more delicious than I imagined. The small Kin-Tsuba was a fluffy and not overly sweet treat. I'm not a fan of sweet things, but I enjoyed it.

Located about a 10-minute walk from Osaka Station, this long-established Japanese confectionery shop is situated near the western edge of Umeda, close to The Ritz-Carlton Osaka. As the name suggests, this shop is famous for its "kintsuba," a popular traditional sweet in Kansai. The kintsuba here has a simple and gentle flavor that becomes addictive. The soft outer layer adds a nice texture. The bite-sized pieces make it easy to eat quickly. Priced at 100 yen per piece, it's a great value and you can buy just one if you like. Although it needs to be consumed on the same day, many people buy it as a souvenir. This hidden gem of Osaka is worth trying either as a takeout or to enjoy in the cozy cafe-like atmosphere inside the shop, where they serve it in sets of three pieces.

It was so hot that I went into a shop to have shaved ice. The shop's grandma told me that the most delicious one is kin-tsuba. So I decided to have kin-tsuba. First of all, it is small in size. The skin feels thick. The sweet bean paste is not too sticky and has a pleasant sweetness. The equation of size x skin thickness x amount of bean paste is perfect. It was so delicious that I wanted to share it with someone! That's why I ended up buying a boxed one as a souvenir for a customer.

I received this as a souvenir! It's light! This is light! Ate lunch at Kenno, had sweets for dessert, returned to the office in Shin-Osaka from Kyoto, and ate 7 pieces!! Because it's light and delicious!! But don't underestimate it!! It has a lasting feeling of fullness ❤️ After that, I went to Sushi Shizuku at 5:30 PM ===========

This is a kintsuba shop located near the entrance. I often buy from here. Today, I went inside and had shaved ice. It cost 600 yen including tax, which is cheap. Inside, there was a delicious red bean paste that went well with the ice. It wasn't too sweet and the red bean paste was tasty and matched perfectly with the ice.

Located just a 5-minute walk from Nishi-Umeda Station on the Osaka Metro Yotsubashi Line, and a 5-minute walk from Kitashinchi Station on the JR Tozai Line, you'll find Kin-Tsuba from the famous Izumiya confectionery at the Shinnyu-iri Hashi Higashi intersection where Route 2 and the Hanshin Expressway intersect. The owner always greets you with a smile when you enter the shop! The taste of their Kin-Tsuba is different from others, with a deliciously subtle sweetness in the red bean paste filling, complemented by the chewy outer layer. I bought a box of 10 for my snack. It cost 1,100 yen. Thank you for the delicious treat!

I will have the summer menu, Milk Sweet Potato and Matcha Anmitsu. The Milk Sweet Potato has a slightly brown color because it is topped with evaporated milk (unsweetened condensed milk) and syrup. I understand the reason for its gentle sweetness. The Matcha Anmitsu is so sweet!! The matcha soup is also sweet, so I mixed it with the ice and enjoyed it together. Thank you for the delicious meal. Today was also delicious! It was a great snack time.

On my way to the hair salon, I noticed a quaint old establishment called Kintsuya standing alone in a back alley. I had never really considered choosing Kintsuya before, but I happened to come across it on a food review site while looking for a place to have lunch or tea near the salon, and it had great reviews. When I decided to give it a try, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was! The anmitsu with agar jelly was generously sized and slightly firm, but it melted in my mouth just the way I like it. The friendly and charming old lady who greeted customers was always ready to chat with anyone. The menu inside the shop also offered a variety of options like shaved ice and sweet red bean soup. I purchased four pieces of Kintsuya as souvenirs for my family, and it only cost 1350 yen. It was heartwarming to see the kind gesture of giving an extra piece as a gift to a child who seemed to be a regular customer with their family. The combination of business and human kindness in Osaka's food culture truly makes it special. I've discovered another favorite sweet spot! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I had heard rumors about it but didn't know where it was. The other day, while riding my bike around this area, I happened to stumble upon it and bought a pack of 10 "kintsuba." Among them, I ordered the "milk sweet potato" flavor to cool off from the heat. It's not the trendy Instagrammable shaved ice, but a classic old-fashioned one. However, the ice was quite fluffy. The taste of milk and sweet potato syrup was nostalgic and undeniably delicious! Plenty of red bean paste! Just like the kintsuba, it's not overly sweet, so you can eat as much as you want. The gentleman next to me was enjoying his anmitsu. I vowed to order that next time! Many men also come here to shop, perhaps to buy gifts, as I saw some buying a lot to take with them. Are they local businessmen? I was worried at first about whether I could eat all 10 kintsuba by myself, but I had no problem and managed to eat 5 in one go. I forgot to take a picture of the kintsuba. They are small, with chewy skin and refreshing red bean paste! Thank you for the feast♪
